(This listing is as
complete as we are able to provide from numerous resources, however it
is possible that a few recipients may t be listed. You can
verify if someone received the DSC from this list, but absence of a name
should NOT be construed to definitively negate a veteran's claim to this
award.)

5,059 Total Awards

After more than three years and
numerous emails asking "WHEN?", we are at last beginning to post
the names of the World War II Distinguished Service Cross Recipients. To
date we have identified a total of 5,065 Award Recipients as follows:

Army

3,984

Army Air Forces

762

U.S. Navy

21

U.S. Marines

31

U.S. Civilians

3

Foreign Allies

258

We believe that the 5,059
Names we have compiled comprise at least 99% of all awards of the
Distinguished Service Cross during World War II. This section,
however, remains our most incomplete work. Other than the WWII DSC
citations, we have compiled all but 6 of the Korean War citations, and
all but 44 of the Vietnam War citations. Of the more than 5,000 WWII
citations however, we have compiled fewer than 1,000. These have been
posted at our CITATIONS page containing the text of the citations we
have digitized and with a synopsis (identifying unit/date of
action/etc.) for the remaining 4,000+ recipients. To research WWII DSC
ARMY and ARMY AIR FORCES awards please go to that page.

The vast majority of the
needed WWII citations ARE available and only funding hinders our
timely efforts to digitize and post them. We are able to purchase WWII
General Orders as we have funds available to do so, usually at a cost
that averages out to close to $1 per recipient. YOUR contribution of
$100 can enable us to add citations for an additional 100 DSC
recipients. Please consider supporting this work so the DSC section
can be completed in 2008, giving us freedom then to concentrate on the
Silver Star database, which we expect to be a 3 - 5 year project. If
